Yes, I had a C320 before...

Sold that after just 2 years (exactly two years): got 75% of original price back.

Nothing at all wrong with the C: I Just preferred a slightly bigger car. And I "needed: a new toy

Did you get 75% from the dealer on a trade or did you do it privately? Either way it is pretty impressive.

Odd, I did not feel any shiver yet. I did notice:

- Lights behaviour subtly different from C
- Wipers more easily confused by rain amount
- Wipers noise, as though windscreen is covered by something

Other than that, so far so good!
